Chapter 350 Let’s Try a Play

He Jiajin was also used to the manipulation of the media in Taiwan and Hong Kong. He knew that what Zhou Yan said must be true. He said with a smile, "What does this mean? If the four of us are photographed together by the media, maybe we can make up a story." Hundreds of versions of the story came out.”

Chen Derong agreed, "Definitely. The scandal between the third brother and Sister Xiaoxian is probably going to resurface again."

"Maybe there is also the scandal between you and him. After all, you have been quite popular in Taiwan recently." He Jiajin said.

What he said is right, the only thing the media values ​​​​is traffic.

Chen Derong is now relatively popular in Taiwan, and it is no longer unusual for Zhou Yan to have a scandal with Wang Zuxian. If Chen Derong has another scandal with Zhou Yan, people will definitely pay more attention.

Zhou Yan looked at He Jiajin and joked, "To attract viewers, I suggest the media write about the scandal between the two of us."

He Jiajin shrank his neck, "That news is too strange."

"Don't worry, I won't be photographed today. I have a lot of experience in counter-reconnaissance." Chen Derong patted his chest, very confident.

In fact, Zhou Yan didn't mind being photographed on today's occasion. After all, there were four of them, and the reporters couldn't write anything too exciting.

After chatting for a while, Chen Derong talked about Zhou Yan's new movie.

"I read in the news that the filming of your new movie is about to start? Will the leading role be cast by an actor from Hong Kong?"

The newspaper Chen Derong read also reported on Zhou Yan's new movie and its soundtrack.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "It's just a possibility, not sure yet."

"Oh, this is also nonsense. What is the theme of this new movie?"

Before Zhou Yan could speak, Wang Zuxian smiled and said, "Don't ask him, he hasn't even written the script yet."

"Ah, the script hasn't been written yet? I read in the news that the soundtrack has been written." Chen Derong asked doubtfully.

In her opinion, since the soundtrack has been written, the script must have been released a long time ago.

"Isn't this normal? He often does this, writing music first and then scripts." Wang Zuxian said.

Zhou Yan nodded and confirmed this, "Well, the script is indeed not completed yet."

Chen Derong smiled and said, "Oh, I also want to ask what the subject is and whether I have a chance to participate in it."

"Are you still filming movies recently?" Zhou Yan asked.

Chen Derong made her debut in movies, and the most famous one is probably the "The Deer and the Cauldron" series. However, after filming the Qiong Yao drama, she basically stopped making movies and focused mainly on TV series.

So Zhou Yan is also very curious whether she is really interested in her new movie.

"I shoot, but very rarely. "Lifetime Event" released last year is the only movie I have made in recent years." Speaking of this, Chen Derong looked regretful, "It's not that I don't want to make it, but it's the one who asked me There are very few movies.”

Chen Derong's situation is also faced by most TV drama actors. After all, there is an intangible barrier between the big screen and the small screen, and only a few actors can cross it.

An actor like Chen Derong who has achieved great success in TV dramas has a very difficult thing to do, that is, it is difficult to decide on a role.

Give her the leading role, but she may not be able to take it. If you give her a supporting role, she may not be willing to do it. Even if she is willing, her company may not be willing.

"A Lifetime Event" released last year was a collaboration between her and Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun received double nominations for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards the year before last with his two films "New Love" and "July 14". It can be said that he is at the top of his game.

But even so, the response to "Lifetime Event" was mediocre after its release. As a result, Chen Derong received even fewer movie scripts.

Because this will make others think that Chen Derong is not suitable for the big screen.

"If you are interested in my new movie, you can arrange an audition later when you have the opportunity." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Chen Derong looked surprised, "Really?"

"Of course." Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "It's just an audition, so you don't have to take it too seriously."

"Then at least you can see the script in advance, right?"

"If you audition, you will definitely be able to see part of the script."

"That would be great."

Just then, the beer was delivered. Chen Derong opened a bottle directly, poured a glass and said to Zhou Yan, "Third brother, no, Director Zhou, I'm here to toast you. I hope we can cooperate."

Zhou Yan smiled and poured himself a glass, "I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

…

Zhou Yan originally didn't have high hopes for the Huaiyang cuisine at Silver Wing Restaurant, but the result surprised him. He Jiajin was right, this restaurant's Huaiyang cuisine was indeed good.

Not only does Huaiyang cuisine do well, but Sichuan cuisine also does well. This restaurant specializes in Sichuan cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine.

Their Wensi tofu, camphor tea duck, braised lion head and crispy shrimps are all very good, especially the Wensi tofu, the knife skills are perfect, it melts in the mouth, and the soup base has a sweet aftertaste.

Zhou Yan must have tasted better Huaiyang cuisine, but being able to eat such a standard of Huaiyang cuisine in Taiwan really surprised him.

None of them drank much in the evening. On average, each of them drank two or three bottles of beer. But even so, He Jiajin still drank too much.

After not seeing him for such a long time, his drinking ability not only failed to improve, but also declined.

Speaking of which, before eating, he was the one who offered to drink, and he was the one who got drunk in the end.

Fortunately, even if he was drunk with this little beer, he wouldn't be too drunk. After a few people sat and chatted for a while, he was fine.

After the dinner, He Jiajin took a taxi back to his residence alone.

Chen Derong said that she was in good condition and wanted to drive, but Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian persuaded her to stop, and then they stopped a taxi for her.

As soon as Chen Derong was sent away, Wang Zuxian snorted softly, looking unhappy.

In fact, while eating just now, Zhou Yan noticed that Wang Zuxian was not in a good mood, and he probably knew why. It must be because before eating, he invited Chen Derong to audition for his new movie.

However, he pretended to be confused and said, "What's wrong, classmate Xiaoxian? Isn't the food delicious tonight?"

With that said, he went to hold Wang Zuxian's hand again.

Although Wang Zuxian complained about Zhou Yan in his heart, he still handed his hand to Zhou Yan, "Do you want Xiao Rong to star in your new movie?"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Not really, it's just an audition. Whether it's suitable or not depends on the results of the audition."

Wang Zuxian muttered, "You didn't even tell me the theme of the movie..."

No wonder she was upset. Zhou Yan didn't even show her the script, but he invited other girls to participate. From her point of view, it would definitely be distasteful.

Zhou Yan smiled and scratched her palm, "Do you know what role I asked Chen Derong to audition for?"

"How do I know? I haven't read your script." Wang Zuxian said angrily.

Seeing Wang Zuxian's angry look, Zhou Yan thought it was quite cute. He pulled Wang Zuxian into his arms, and then said in Wang Zuxian's ear, "The one I asked her to audition is the male protagonist's sister."

Wang Zuxian looked at Zhou Yan in surprise, "Isn't she the heroine? Oh, is there a heroine in your movie?"

In fact, strictly speaking, among Zhou Yan's movies, only "The Sixth Sense" has a heroine.

In the first film "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", there was only one neighbor sister who did not have many roles. In the subsequent film "Spring of the Cowherd Class", there were even fewer female characters.

And even in "The Sixth Sense", the heroine doesn't have a particularly large role. The main roles in the movie are the two male protagonists.

To sum up, in Zhou Yan's movies, female characters have relatively few roles, which is why Wang Zuxian asked this question.

"Yes, this movie is the one with the most female characters among all my movies. And this heroine is of course not the hero's sister."

The male protagonist's sister in "Space Traveler" is a very important character, but this sister is a bit neurotic and seems to be sleepwalking every day.

Zhou Yan just felt that Chen Derong was a bit like his sister when he didn't speak, so he made an impromptu invitation to Chen Derong.

Hearing that she was not the heroine, Wang Zuxian became worried again, "Xiao Rong's current situation, if I don't play the heroine for her, will she agree?"

In fact, it’s not just a matter of not being the heroine. If Chen Derong really wants to play the role of the male protagonist’s sister, his makeup will be very plain, and his state every day will be as if he just woke up.

This is a very big problem for Chen Derong, a Qiong Yao queen heroine. She definitely hopes that the state she shows in the movie is very beautiful.

But Zhou Yan is not worried at all, "Auditions are inherently two-way choices. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to accept it. There's no such thing as justice."

Zhou Yan wasn't too worried about casting. With his current reputation, few actors could refuse his invitation. If Chen Derong didn't want to act, there were naturally a lot of actors who were willing.

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Wang Zuxian was no longer angry. In fact, she was not angry at first, just a little bit unhappy and a little jealous.

"Let's go, Da'an Forest is just ahead, I'll take you for a walk."

Zhou Yan did not move, but said with a smile, "Aren't you curious, who will I find to play the heroine?"

Wang Zuxian put on an indifferent expression, "I'm not curious, even if you really ask Xiao Rong to play the heroine, it doesn't matter."

"real?"

"Really." Wang Zuxian nodded, but obviously lacked confidence.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yan stopped teasing her, squeezed her hand and said, "Actually, this script was written just for you, and the position of the heroine is definitely reserved for you."

Hearing that Zhou Yan wanted her to play the heroine, Wang Zuxian was happy, but said on his face, "Actually, you don't need to make a movie specifically for me. I don't make movies now, which is actually quite good."

Seeing that she was trying to be brave, Zhou Yan wanted to tease her again, and said seriously, "Indeed, if you haven't filmed for such a long time, it's hard to say whether you are still in good condition or not. And aren't you busy buying a house? If you want to film, it will delay your career development. . I will think about it later and let someone else come if there are other suitable actresses.”

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Wang Zuxian was a little disappointed, but in fact it was okay. She really had no desire to film now. The only advantage to her being able to film Zhou Yan's films was that she could spend more time with Zhou Yan.

However, the new movie will be shot in Xiangjiang, so she is not afraid of not having time to spend with Zhou Yan.

"Well, if there is another suitable one, let someone else do it."

She naturally wanted to participate in Zhou Yan's movie, but if it would affect the movie itself, she still felt that she should step back. After all, Zhou Yan's career was more important.

Now that she is expressing her stance, she also hopes that Zhou Yan will not feel pressured. She is also worried that Zhou Yan lets her play the heroine in the movie just to take care of her emotions.

At this time, Zhou Yan showed a regretful expression, shook his head and walked forward, "Ah, I was thinking that I could act with you in the new movie this time."

Joey Wong was stunned for a moment.

Acting together?

She hurried over, "You want to play the male lead yourself?"

"Yes, since the script is written for you, the male lead must be me. For this reason, I also wrote a lot of kissing scenes in the script. It seems that I can only..."

Joey Wong immediately hugged Zhou Yan's arm, "No, I must play the heroine of this movie, I must!"

"Actually, I can also sacrifice and film a kissing scene with other actresses. Let me think about which actress is more suitable. There are quite a lot of actresses in Hong Kong, Rosamund Kwan, Maggie..."

Joey Wong stood on tiptoe and covered Zhou Yan's mouth, "Don't say it."

With his mouth covered, Zhou Yan rolled his eyes again, and she held Zhou Yan's head and shook it, "Don't think about it!"

Seeing Joey Wong's anxious look, Zhou Yan decided not to tease her anymore.

Slowly taking her hand off his head and holding it, Zhou Yan said gently: "Don't worry, the heroine must be you."

At this time, Wang Zuxian's anxiety melted away, and a smile bloomed on her face like a bright flower, "That's about right."

Zhou Yan looked at Wang Zuxian's face with a smile and whispered, "Dear heroine, let's try out the play."

"Try out the play?" Wang Zuxian looked puzzled.

Zhou Yan nodded, didn't say anything, and kissed her directly.

Wang Zuxian only realized after being kissed that Zhou Yan wanted to try a kissing scene.

……

Zhou Yan thought that Daan Forest Park would not be crowded at night, but when he arrived, he found that although it was already eight or nine o'clock, there were still a lot of people in the park.

The park is very large and new. Wang Zuxian said that it was only opened to the public two years ago. Because the park is in the downtown area, there are still many people coming here even at night.

It can be seen that this park is a good place for dating, and young couples can be seen everywhere on the road.

If you look carefully at the paths or woods in the park, you may see some couples kissing passionately. Some of them look only in their teens, and they should be middle school students who are in early love.

There are also many music lovers in the park. Along the way, Zhou Yan saw three boys holding guitars and singing.

Their level is not high. Two of them probably haven't learned guitar seriously. They just learned a few simple chords and started to play and sing.

The advantage of the guitar is that it is portable and has shortcuts.

For people who don't understand music, practicing a few simple chords can fool them.

In fact, for this kind of roadside singing, the level of guitar is not important, the voice is the most important. As long as you sing well, a few chords are enough.

Of course, in addition to the voice, appearance is also important, and it can even be said that appearance is more important than the voice.

The situation around the three boys just now also proves this point. The boy with the most girls around him is the one who looks the best, sings well, and strums the worst.

The second is the boy who looks average, has a good voice, and strums average.

The one with the least audience actually played guitar much better than the other two. He sang well but didn't look good.

Zhou Yan's guitar skills were average, but much better than many enthusiasts, after all, he had a strong foundation in music theory.

Many of their classmates in the composition department also studied guitar, and Li Tao was one of the best. That guy played guitar very well and had a good voice, so he won the hearts of many girls. (End of this chapter)
